Light responsive nanomotors dissolve blood clots and repair vessel tissue by combining catalytic activity, targeted motion, and gentle heating for coordinated thrombolysis and endothelial regeneration ...

Researchers at the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Perelman School of Medicine discovered that red blood cells play a critical role in the contraction of blood clots in the body. The ...

The field of fibrinolytic enzymes and antithrombotic therapies has experienced rapid advances in recent years, with a growing focus on harnessing naturally occurring proteases for the targeted ...

Genetic research in Sweden has unveiled three new gene variants that dramatically increase the risk of venous blood clots, sometimes by up to 180%. These discoveries build on existing knowledge of ...

In these microscopic close-ups, samples of red blood cells aggregate from left to right, becoming more compact despite the absence of platelets, long thought essential to clotting. Red blood cells, ...

Stanford faculty Jeremy J. Heit and Renee Zhao demonstrate how to insert the milli-spinner using a life-sized model of the human circulatory system. When treating an ischemic stroke – where a clot is ...
